A huge well done to all the Year 9 students who took part in the Articulate workshop this week and made such "mind-blowing" progress in their self-belief and confidence. The focus of the workshop was on building oracy skills, culminating in each student taking an English Speaking Board assessment by delivering a four-minute presentation on a subject of their choice, reciting a memorised piece of poetry or song lyrics and reading aloud from a chosen text. Our thanks to Next Steps South West for funding the project and to Julia from the Oracy Workshops and Paul Bond from Plymouth University for their teaching and support
